Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent

[bradgrafelman]

When using [man]header/man, any prior output or blank space before a <?php tag will cause this error.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\name.php :7) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\name.php on line 106

line 106 is where the -- header('Location: fine.html'); ---is located.

is the number 7 on ---> c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\name.php :7 ---> means the error is on the 7th line?

i am a total beginner in PHP, so please forgive my ignorance.

It means exactly what it says. On line 106, you used the header() function. On line 7 of name.php, something was outputted - either using echo/print or there was something outside of a <?php ?> tag (which was automatically sent to the browser).
